TRAMPLED ROSE - Tom Waits
-------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Moonred
Capo 3 (chords written as standard)
The main part of the song is 4/4, but the riff at the end of (almost) every line is in
timing. Every instrument kind of does their own thing on the riff, but i think this
the gist of it...

Ahh-ahh-ahh X2
Passing the hat in church
It never stops going rou--nd
You never pay just once
To get the job do--ne
Chorus #2
What I done to you
I done to me
What happened to the trampled rose?
Ahh-ahh-ahh X4
In the muddy street
With the fireworks and lea-ves
Blind man with a cup i asked
If he'd sing "Kisses Sweeter Than Wi-ne"
Chorus #3
I know that rose
Like i know my name
